Cyber risk: Get on top of your controls and frameworks.

Thursday, Oct. 24, 11am - 12pm ET (10am CT / 9am MT / 8am PT)

In an era of escalating cyber threats, organizations face mounting pressure to ensure their cybersecurity controls are not just compliant but are effective in protecting critical technology and assets. With the threat landscape constantly evolving, it's crucial for cyber and IT risk professionals to be confident that their controls are robust, aligned with industry frameworks, and capable of adapting to new risks.

But how do you ensure you're not missing something vital? How do you prove to your board, certification bodies and regulators that you're actively protecting the organization?

This webinar will tackle the pressing questions about cyber and IT controls and provide strategies to help you stay ahead of cyber threats while gaining assurance that your controls are performing as expected.
